<TITLE>03. Par 7-9</TITLE>L-7 So now, we want to talk just a few moments. Awhile ago there was such a terrible emergency. We haven't been taking calls during time of the meetings because you just get so... But there was a lady who called, was in a desperate condition. And my wife come into the room and said, "Honey, I hate to call you from study"; but said, "this is just such an awful emergency." And said, "The woman's fixing to commit suicide." And so, I got to the phone; and while standing at the phone, the Holy Spirit told her just who she was, what she was doing, how she was dressed, what was the matter with her, and what caused it; and He healed her right there while I was standing at the phone. Oh, my, I tell you... I heard crying: her mother screaming and holding her and everything, till I... And her just a praising the Lord. She...
So He's good all around. If you just think of how... Compare that with the New Testament early church. Just compare it and see how it--it--it--co--it coincides with the New Testament church: the apostles, how the visions came, how everything, how the Lord worked.

L-8 Here, I was going over to Africa. Supposed to be India this month. Had it by dates set and everything. Some sent and had times set with dinner with Mr. Nehru before going in, the Prime Minister, and... That was William Branham doing that. And I was all fixed and getting my visa ready. I was praying for some people in the house, and went out in my house, went into another room, come back through to--was answering telephone, and come through the little hall, going back into another room. There'd been a couple more carloads come in since I was in the room--of answering this phone, emergency long distance. And when I started through the room, there stood a man standing there. And he had a towel, looked like, over his head like this, hanging down. He's kind of a dark complected looking fellow. Looked like his nose was kindly pushed on the end or like it kindly stumped like that. He was standing there looking right at me. I thought he'd been a patient just come in. And I said, "How do you do, sir?" And I... He was a standing right in my road, so I said, "How do you do, sir?"
And he said, looked up like that and said, "Brother Branham, don't go overseas till September."
Now, I said, "What..." Well, I looked, and the man was gone. Now, if that ain't just like the Macedonian call, that went over to...?... It's the same Angel of the Lord. See?

L-9 What is it? It's the Lord Jesus, that loves us all. He loves all you. He's right here tonight. See? He might not--He might deal with you in another way, but it's the same Lord. And He might deal with you in a loving heart. That's the same Lord. He might give you a--a passion for lost souls. It's the same Lord. See? "But He sets some in the church: teachers, apostles, prophets, gifts of healing, working of miracles; and all those things are set in the church. Do you believe that? I never did say where they'd be set out of the church. He set them in the church for the perfecting of the church and to be in the church until He comes again. Now, in those things...
Now, many times, of course, I know Christian friends, we have a lot of impersonations on those things. That's to be expected. It's always. We said, other night in one of our lessons, when Israel went up, a mixed multitude went with them. That's true. But now, what you are, you are by the grace of God, what God has. You're a Christian, not because you sought God, but because God sought you. That's right. See?
Man can't seek God. He just can't: it's--it's his nature to be a sinner. So he... Just like the pig; tell him he's wrong eating slop, you couldn't do it. He's a pig to begin with. So you couldn't change that. He's just the begin... But God seeks after man. And man comes to God. And when he comes to God, He gives him Everlasting Life.
